Playing movie in iphoto slideshow

is it possible to have a movie clip from imovie play within a slideshow in iphoto?

I'm right in the middle of working it out and I think I have got there! ?......... In fact I have because i have just played the test and it works. I opened Movies in Finder > Events, found the clip D/Dropped to Desktop. Then opened iPhoto. D/Dropped the clip into the S/Show. Job's done!
Many thanks for your response.

  • Play MPG in iphoto slideshows

    -Im using iPhoto09
    -I have movie files off my video camera, they were .mod files, i renamed them to .mpg so they work with quicktime.
    -But for some reason they wont play in iphoto slideshows, and just show the first still frame of movie
    how do i get these files to work automaticlly in slideshows??? free video codec package?

    You’ll need to convert the file into a mov or something that iPhoto can work with first.
    This can be done with MPEG Streamclip.

  • Can't play movies in iPhoto after installing OS X Lion

    I have just installed OS X Lion  and the movies in iphoto no longer will play.  I do not want to update iphoto because of problems with it.  Is there anyway around this problem?
    Cheryl

    I'd ask about the JRE issue on the Using Mac OS X forum.
    The videos are not necessarily gone:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Problems with playing movies in iPhoto 9 (8.1.2)

    All of a sudden iPhoto is not playing movies anymore. Double click and slideshow is unfortunately not working. In the Slideshow the movies are blank. Pictures are not a problem in the Slideshow. Luckily the QT Player (version 10.0) solution is working fine, but I really liked the Slideshow option. Anyone who knows how to fix this problem?

    Have you added that location to a photo that's in the book? If not then do so and see if the location will show up on the map.

  • Playing video in iPhoto slideshow

    hi,
    I'm regularly recording video with my digital camera that is transfered to iPhoto along with all pictures. The problem is that these videos don't play when I present a slideshow of an event in my computer or in AppleTV.
    I used Visual Hub to convert the .avi to .mp4 files optimized for iTunes but still these converted videos won't show up in an iPhoto slideshow. Is this a non-feature of the program or I'm doing something wrong? Can I sync videos from an iPhoto album and see them in my AppleTV?
    Thank you!

    You cannot play video as part of an iPhoto slideshow. PhotoPresenter is an app that allows this.

  • Can't play movies from iphoto in snow leopard.

    When I double click on a movie in iphoto nothing happens. But when I drag it onto quicktime it will play. Any suggestions? I'm using itunes 7.1.5 if that helps.

    If you do a Command+i on a file you'll get this window:
    Click to view full size
    However, changing the default application to Quicktime Player 7 does not let iPhoto open it in that application. It still opens in the new Quicktime Player app.
    I found a "bug" in the new QT Player. If your have a movie at 320 x 240 QT Player opens it at 478 x 359 which is the minimum window it can be set to. That makes the playback of files less than that size pixelated/fuzzy.

  • I cannot get music to play on my iPhoto slideshows.

    Using OSX, itunes 10 and iphoto 9 .
    I cannot get music to play on iphoto slideshows. It never used to be a problem before OS10.
    Desperate and would really appreciate any help.
    many thanks
    <Edited by Host>

    You may access your iTunes music iin iphoto
    You may also access it in other apps - like iMovie
    If - for some reason - you can access the music in iMovie but not in iPhoto, then the issue is with iPhoto.
    If you can't access it in either then the issue is with iTunes.

  • Unable to play movie in iphoto 08

    Ever since installing Snow Leopard (the bane of my life!) I have been unable to play the movies that I have imported to iphoto 08 from my camera. No previous problems.

    Start the install process with the Snow Leopard disc and look for a Customize button in one of the first windows, probably right after the language selection window. It will be similar to the Customize button in this screenshot:

    Click on it and you will be able to select just what you want to install.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Can't play music in iPhoto slideshow in Quicktime

         Hi,
    I created a slideshow in iPhoto and added a song as a sound track.  I exported it according to the instructions in the Help, but when I play it in QuickTime, there is no music.  What am I doing wrong?  The Quicktime Help says I should be able to choose whether or not to include the background music, but I'm not seeing that option anywhere.
    Thanks for any help!

    Is the audio track one you purchased from iTunes and is DRM protected? If so then the protection prevents the audio from getting included in the QT movie file.
    If you have Quicktime Pro 7 and Quicktime Player 7 you can add the movie to the audio track to get what you want.

  • Music doesn't play in my iPhoto Slideshows on my new MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro.  My photos, albums, slideshows, etc. transferred fine.  However, when I play my slideshows, one of which I need to edit before Christmas, the music will not play.  The music is still there and I have the volume turned all of the way up, but nothing comes out of the speakers.  I've looked for settings that may be muting it, but cannot find any.  I have severla of my slideshows in iTunes and the music plays just fine.  It was also fine on my prior MacBookPro.  I cannot figure out why I can't hear the music in my slideshows in iPhoto on my new MacBook Pro. 

    Try open iTunes and doing File -> Library  -> Organize Library...
    You'd better post this at Macbook Pro Communiry:

  • Bringing Quicktime movies or iphoto slideshows into ipod video

    Hi, Just got a new 60gb ipod w/ video. Can I bring quicktime movies I have made by exporting slideshows in iphoto into the ipod? When I try, the movies are grayed out and not an option.

    Thanks!

  • Also can't play movies in iPhoto

    I'm using iPhoto 9.1.5 & have Quicktime Player 10, & still on Snow leopard.  When the movie was downloaded from my camera it showed message - "unreadable file, file could not be imported.  The file is in an unrecognised format".  Should I be able to view this & is so what do I need - another version of Quicktime maybe?  It was just a movie clip from an ordinary digital camera.
    Thanks for any help.
    Janet

    It was just a movie clip from an ordinary digital camera.
    Problem is: there's no such thing. Movie formats can carry movies created with any of hundreds of Codecs - so one .avi is not the same as another .avi.
    Have you installed Perian?
    This adds extra codecs to QuickTime which will allow it to work with most avis. If the material is HAD and shot as AVCHD then you'll need to use iMovie for that.

  • I am unable to play videos in iPhoto that I took on my iPhone. They are in .mov format, but when I double click on them, per the help instructions, nothing happens.

    You can't play movies in iPhoto.  But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS.  Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

  • How to Play music from Garageband in iPhoto slideshow

    Hi
    Just started learning to use Garageband to "stitch" some songs together to play in the iPhoto slideshow.
    1. When in iPhoto slideshow, there is an option to select the "stitched" song from source "Garageband" - but, the music does not play when the slideshow runs.
    In fact, in the music window - the "stitched" song is listed under source "Garageband" with no time.
    BUT,
    2. when in "Garageband" - under "Share" I send song to iTunes - the "stitched" song appears in source "iTunes" which I can select in iPhoto and it will play with the slideshow.
    Does anyone know, what step I did not complete for the first option above to work. I guess, it has something to do with "making it share in iLife" - but I cannot find where is that option.
    Loom forward to hear from someone.
    Regards

  • Audio problems with iphoto slideshow

    hi there,
    i made a 9 minute photo slideshow in itunes synched to 2 songs (one directly after the other). then i wanted to post it online (facebook, youtube, etc) for my friends and family to see. BUT, when i do so, the second song does not play even though the slideshow of pictures continues.
    both songs play in the iphoto slideshow and on the exported .mov file in quicktime when you watch them. this problem only occurs when posting it online and then watching that posted file online.
    any ideas why these sites arent recognizing that there is a second song that follows the first?
    thanks a lot...
    ry.

    ry:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You did select just the playlist and not the track in the playlist, right? Are any of the tracks from the iTunes store and are you running the latest Quicktime?
    Do you Twango?
